OK, I got around to testing the patch.
I used kernel 5.19.11 (from https://cdn.kernel.org/pub).
After solving the problem with errors with the compilation (I removed
the NVIDIA driver and switched to the nouveau driver) and space problems
on my /boot partition (solved by using sudo make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1
modules_install) I got the following results:

Try 1:
patching libata-core.c with the lines
 	/* PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207M and PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205 have broken LPM
support */
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-207M",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOLPM },
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-205",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOLPM },

resulted in
link_power_management_policy still "med_power_with_dipm"
problem with pioneer DOES occur

Try 2:
patching libata-core.c with the lines
 	/* PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207M and PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205 have broken LPM
support */
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-207M",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER },
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-205",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER },

resulted in
link_power_management_policy still "med_power_with_dipm"
problem with pioneer DOES occur

Try 3:
patching libata-core.c with the lines
	/* PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207M and PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205 have broken LPM
support */
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-207M",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER |
											ATA_HORKAGE_NOLPM },
	{ "PIONEER BD-RW   DVR-205",	NULL,	ATA_HORKAGE_NOSETXFER |
											ATA_HORKAGE_NOLPM },

resulted in
link_power_management_policy still "med_power_with_dipm"
problem with pioneer DOES occur, additional error in log:
device offline error, dev sr0, sector 1365828 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0
phys_seg 1 prio class 0
(not sure if this is significant)'

Try 4:
unpatched libata-core.c
using boot kernel parameter "libata.force=1:nolpm"

resulted in
link_power_management_policy now "max_performance"
problem with pioneer DOES NOT occur
so libata.force=nolpm kernel parameter works, which might interest
Damien ;-)

Niklas, if you want to try other patches for this problem, I wouldbe
happy to be of assistance.

With kind regards,
